(Press Release)
"The big news today is that discernment has trumped discrimination in the Diocese of Chicago," said Integrity President Susan Russell. "The inclusion of the Very Rev. Tracey Lind on the list of five extraordinarily qualified candidates for Bishop of Chicago is a bold step forward and a sign of hope and encouragement not only to LGBT Episcopalians but to the whole church. Her experience and leadership make her an excellent candidate and Integrity applauds the Diocese of Chicago for not allowing the forces advocating bigotry over ability to dominate their nomination process.
It is long past time for the Episcopal Church to acknowledge that B033 -- the 2006 resolution designed to prevent the election of a gay or lesbian bishop -- has failed in its attempt to balance the unity of the Anglican Communion on the backs of the LGBT faithful. There is no turning back on the full inclusion of the baptized into the Body of Christ -- only moving forward into God's future as an Episcopal Church committed to mission and ministry, to unity in diversity.
Integrity extends congratulations to all the candidates, any one of whom will make a fine bishop for the Episcopal Church. The Diocese of Chicago's diverse list of qualified candidates is a sign of the end the 'season of fasting' at the expense of the vocations of gays and lesbians in the Episcopal Church and the whole church should rejoice and be glad in that!
(The Reverend) Susan Russell, President

How things have changed in the last year. While browsing the web looking for links on Tracey Lind and others of the nominees, I came across a very interesting article in the Summer07 Integrity newsletter, by Michael Barlowe, an openly practicing homosexual who was nominated for bishop in Newark and lost. There is a section in the article talking about Tracey Lind's decision last year to withdraw from the election in the diocese of Newark: from here: Looks like Integrity and others believe B033 is well and truly dead, or at the very least they are testing it again for signs of life… August 28, 3:00 pm | [comment link] |

Whatever else may be said, B033 is dead. In fact, it was dead on arrival and its lifeless corpse was all that could be banded about at the conclusion of the GC 2006 (anybody see "A Weekend at Bernie's"?). It was passed by majority (under pressure from the leadership) as a "strategy", a means (a dishonest one) to continue the party, and not as good-faith effort to allow for discernment.

#18 - There is one gay person on the list. How is that a threat to reasserters or robust heterosexuals? Of course, it is relationships in the Anglican Communion that are threatened, not people. Reasserters and "robust heterosexuals" (?) will live their lives rather happily, though probably not as Episcopalians. Rather, it is a statement of: we can all agree to differ, we can all have our viewpoints represented in the great and good Anglican Communion. Well, no. It's a statement that "discernment has trumped discrimination", that "hey,hey gay's ok", that the opinions of the Anglican Communion aren't going to stop us from doing what we want, that people who don't agree with Susan Russell, and the nominating commitee of the diocese of Chicago are discriminating and have no place in the Episcopal Church.

Just for the record, "Integrity" called B033 dead-on-arrival in Columbus when the ink wasn't yet dry on the coerced resolution offering gay and lesbian vocations as sacrifical lambs on the altar of global communion politics as the "Windsor" Bishops (or whatever they were calling themselves at that point) came down the escalator from the House of Bishops and lined up for their all-ready-to-go press conference declaring it not enough to hold the Communion together. We didn't accept Lambeth 1.10 in 1998 and we didn't roll over for B033 in 2006. (See also Luke 18:1-8) It is now time for the Anglican Communion to decide whether it can live with the diversity we represent ... that's the work ahead of us and the work the new Bishop of Chicago ... WHOEVER she or he is ... will be part of.

"We can all agree to disagree" has been one of the liberal mantras at least since 2003. There are a number of problems with this, one of which is that when spoken by liberals it is completely disengenuous. We saw this on women's ordination when they first gave a conscience clause and then revoked it. What it really means is that we will agree to disagree until such time when we revoke your right (conservatives) to disagree. August 28, 5:28 pm | [comment link] |

In my mostly-urban experience with Episcopal clergy, about half or a little more are women, and maybe one in five or so are gay.

Reply to Rick D, who said, I am a person who is still 'undecided' regarding the theological arguments regarding womens' ordination. What I understand regarding the Roman and Orthodox churches' stand on this issue seems to make sense. But, I have also had the privelege of being exposed to some really good Episcopalian female deacons and fewer priests. The Episcopalian female clergy who have impressed me the least are those who seem to bring into their clerical ministry secular attitudes regarding women that are better left in the secular community. In Christ we are supposed to be one, neither male nor female, but I sense that a number of female clerics are intent on asserting the secular rights of women within the church. That is, they do not promote 'oneness,' but instead are divisive in their demeanor and utterances. A further thought, most of us who care about bringing people to Jesus are concerned about the difficulty of prosyletizing men and of retaining men in the church. Well, a fact of life is that many men, for cultural or just because of the fact that they are men, do not desire, do not respond to, will ignore, and will reject female spiritual leadership. So, those of you who are so willing to impose an overwhelming female leadership upon men, must accept the consequence of your actions, whether they be sincere in their intent or merely the expression of a secular feminist movement.

28. Jon wrote:
I agree with Susan Russell here. Chicago is engaging in openness and honesty and transparency about their intentions for the future. Susan is right that this is a good thing, and it is an especially ethical thing to do now, especially shortly before Sept 30. What was NOT ethical is for TEC to pass resolutions that falsely described its mind as a whole (e.g B033) simply to pacify the Global South. Likewise it is wrong for dioceses and bishops to exercise "restraint" while planning to abandon it as soon as (say) Lambeth 2008 is finished. I applaud the decision of Chicago to openly describe its position and intentions. I think the more transparency we have like that—people very openly describing their theological views and not just about gay folks, but also other aspects of the tradition—the better. How could more openness and honesty (tempered with as much gentleness and charity as possible toward opponents) be anything but good? And how could any other position (e.g. let's acceed to the demands of the Primates while intending in a few years to subvert them) be anything but lies and deceit and ultimately injury to all concerned? On this I feel ethical people on both sides of the isle should be able to come together. August 28, 6:09 pm | [comment link] |

I'm disappointed in the nominating committee in the diocese of Chicago and in the Integrity organization. One way to read the action in Chicago is that the committee does not want to conform to the expressed desire of General Convention to continue in fellowship with the large majority of the bishops of our communion. Integrity's press release and the comments of its author, above, witness to me a desire for schism. Tom Rightmyer in Asheville, NC August 28, 6:23 pm | [comment link] |
32. Daniel Lozier wrote:
For the record, as a former member of All Saints Pasadena, where Tim Safford was baptized and served as priest…..Safford does not believe in the virgin birth or physical Resurrection of Christ. By definition, therefore, he is not Christian. Not surprising he is nominated to be a bishop in TEC. August 28, 6:23 pm | [comment link] |
33. Susan Russell wrote:
#27—With all due respect and in regard to "defining Anglicanism" neither do a vocal percentage of primates! Before anybody can decide "to be part of what the Anglicans decided Anglicanism is" then there needs to be some work done on deciding whether or not the Archbishop of Canterbury is "essential" to Anglicanism (which seems to be under debate in some quarters) and how we hear the voices of ALL the baptized—not just the bishops—in our discernment. Significant Anglican voices from the Archbishop of York to Desmond Tutu have indicated there is indeed "elbow room" for our diverse ways of living out our Christian vocations in our various Anglican contexts. Odds are you'll disagree but there you have it. (And yes, I'm doing a lot of blog commenting today—it's hot as stink here in Pasadena and the only things left on my "to do during vacation list" involve being outside in the hot-as-stink so I'm wandering about the blogosphere instead.)

I'm going to depart slightly from this discussion and say what many of us already know: The Episcopal Church is on the verge of establishing itself as The Episcopal Communion. They have the overseas provinces…..15 of them…..and missionary dioceses necessary to accomplish that goal. They've been clearly demonstrating that they intend to go their own way ever since GC2003. The mere suggestion that a lesbian "priest" will be a candidate for the See of Chicago…..regardless of whether or not she's elected…..will be seen as further proof of their intentions, and will hasten the coming schism in the Anglican Communion.

TEC's theological latitude was a great encouragement to her, as she did not have to cease being a Unitarian in order to enjoy such a pretty little service with nice music…and vestments.

#44: But there's the problem You cannot "follow Jesus," as you say, if you maintain that Mary was not a virgin when she got pregnant. Technically it is not to hard to imagine such a conception - that is, stimulating an egg in a virgin - but that's not the issue, is it? The scripture is clear, first of all, hard to believe or not. Virginity is not essential for such a conception except for reasons of purity. What is essential is that Jesus has two "genetic lineages" fused into one. You cannot "follow Jesus" if he is not at the same time the Christ (if by that expression you mean that Christianity does not absolutely require that both elements exist in a single human). This is simply central and cannot be circumvented - except in California perhaps. LM August 28, 11:55 pm | [comment link] |

I know it sounds a bit like Bizarro world, but I do believe many reappraisers actually believe that a practice can be universally condemned in 2000 years of Tradition, yet they can somehow still claim to be following Tradition (sometimes following tradition means the same as "catholic" for them: smells and bells). The modernist mantra is that once something becomes a "justice issue," it must be found in Scripture and Tradition, even if every verse and section must be taken out of context to make it fit.

TECUSA even asked us not to change the practice or teaching of the Church on its own (Resolution B020, 1991). So far, the concensus of the Anglican Communion is that homosexual sex is outside of God's design for us and is sinful. If that hurts your feelings, I'm sorry that your feelings are hurt. You say that Scripture, Tradition, and Reason are your "favs." Can you show me, out of Scripture and Tradition, where God blesses homosexual sex? YBIC, |

Phil (Dallas), I note that your last question asked, "Can you show me, out of Scripture and Tradition, where God blesses homosexual sex?" Was there a reason for leaving out "reason"?

#69: Of course, Ms. Russell cannot show you anywhere in S,C and T where God blesses homosexual sex. But, of course, if you practice the "hermenuetic of suspicion" your definition for S, C and T is predicated on the enlighted E (E xperience) which has been smuggled into the Anglican evaluative process. Therefore, 'because I experience homosexual sex as beautiful, true, and holy, that, for me, is higher than the bigoted application of S, C and T. God has given me E to correct and set aside S,C, and T, when necessary". August 29, 11:48 am | [comment link] |

But…while clarifying all my mistakes, may I attempt an answer about Reason "trumping" S and T? I believe that Hooker was really clear that Holy Reason could not violate either Holy Scripture or Holy Tradition, since Holy Reason depends upon HS and HT for its food for thought. Reasoning as God would have us reason (i.e. "Holy Reason") would be most un-reasonable (even insane) if that HR could overthrow the Divine Word of God, or the Divine transmission of God's Word via Holy Tradition. Maybe you, yourself, have an answer to your own question: how could Reason trump HS and/or HT? August 29, 12:02 pm | [comment link] |

#75: Scripture does not support or promote slavery. In OT references, it reports slavery, and regulates for the people of God how they must treat slaves (i.e., with fairness, compassion, and on Jubilee Years, by freeing them from their debt). You will look in vain for a Word from God which describes slavery as pleasing to God, or that indicates that the Lord favors slavery. Quite obviously, the Lord set his own captive, enslaved people Israel, free from their bondage in Egypt. So…there goes Holy Scripture…NOT a supporter of Slavery. As for Holy Tradition, again, there is no book from the Patristic period…that seminal age of the Tradition… that endorses or recommends slavery. Do you have sources otherwise?

#29 (sorry but I had to work for a while) Hmmm. Not sure what "secular rights of women within the church" means, but I'm pretty sure "they…are divisive in their demeanor and utterances" sounds like a generalization. Maybe you've had some bad experiences. The female clergy I have been exposed to, in a couple of diocese, have been excellent preachers and pastors.
This statement—which I have not personally witnessed but which I take to be your experience—does not point to a problem with female spiritual leadership, but rather to a failure to acknowledge leadership that is presumably appropriate but for the gender of the leader. The church should do all it can to help those people mature to a point where pastoral care is recognized for its spiritual value without reference to whether the pastor is male or female. By the way, in my own experience, children and young adults who have grown up in churches with diverse clergy (including gay clergy) don't seem to have nearly the problems with acknowledging the contributions of those clergy that others do. Perhaps they are learning their own traditions. August 29, 4:48 pm | [comment link] |

#78: But nowhere do you find God or Paul condemning slavery. By describing the conditions of which slavery should be maintained (?), slavery is de facto condoned. Go to the old churches with galleries on top and pew boxes below and guess who was sitting there? Sorry, Stuart, even my old conservative Episcopal History prof taught that Scripture was used to uphold the slave trade as was tradition (past practice). In fact, he AND Dr. John Booty in his course on Richard Hooker used slavery as an example of reason trumping scripture and tradition. August 29, 5:21 pm | [comment link] |
79. Philip Snyder wrote:
Smuggs - You have the Scritpural witness of Paul asking Philemon (the other "Phil" in the bible ) to free Onesimus. You have the scriptural witness of God freeing Israel. You have "for Freedom Christ has set us free" in Paul's letters. You do not have "do not free your slave, that is an abonimation" or "People worshipped the creation rather than the creator and worked to free slaves." Neither do you have "abolitionists" listed as sinners. Scripture is not universally pro slavery nor is it universally against freeing slaves. Scripture has been (mis)used in the past to justify many things. That does not mean that Scripture says what people say it does. Can you show me a scriptural witness to blessing homosexual sex or a place where Scripture is unclear on the place of homosexual sex?
80. Vintner wrote:
Sorry, Phil (Dallas), still no go. You only claim now that Scripture has been misused in this regard. Back in pre-Civil War Days it was used to justify. Only REASON intrepreted other passages, over time, to trump the passages that were used to condone it. Can you show me where Jesus SPECIFICALLY mentioned homosexually? No? I didn't think so either. Face facts and admit it. You treasure Scripture and tradition and would jettison reason altogether save for the ways to use reason in order to interpret Scripture and tradition to fit your arguments. That's why you didn't include it in your question to Susan. I think Dr. Booty is a much better authority on Richard Hooker than you so I'll continue to go with his notes rather than your speculation.

In Matt 15:19, Jesus condemns porneia which includes the following
(http://cf.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?strongs=G4202) However, let's assume that Jesus doesn't mean homosexual sex in Matt 15:19, what do you do with Pauline references or the in Acts 15 where we are called to abstain from "sexual immorality." Do you really think that the Jews in Acts did not include all sexual immorality as they understood it? Remember, Jesus was/is a 1st century Jew who lived by the Law and did not transgress it. There are several places where He re-interprets the law for us and in none of these does he change the practice of homosexual sex to be anything but sinful. So, the lack of specific mention of homosexual sex serves to strengthen the argument that homosexual sex is still considered sinful by God. YBIC, |
82. Vintner wrote:
You're intrepreting, Phil! You're looking at passages and saying, "This is what Jesus means" and I'm asking if he mentioned the word (that I believe did not come into being until the 20th century? I could be wrong.) at all. I'm familiar with the debate about what Paul "meant" and all that ad nauseum whatever. I think the correct response, however, if I was arguing for your side, would be, "No, Jesus did not specifically mention or single out homosexuality. However, we can intepret from the word 'porneia' that homosexuality was probably included. We can also assume from his presence at a wedding in Cana that he believed that marriage was the union that God intended for people to be in." I then might even go so far as to say, tongue in cheek, "So, no, I don't see where Jesus mentioned homosexuality. But, then, I don't see where Jesus ever attended, much less turned water into wine, at a blessing of a civil union, either…" August 29, 7:31 pm | [comment link] |

Smuggs. I did write "So, the lack of specific mention of homosexual sex serves to strengthen the argument that homosexual sex is still considered sinful by God." Remember, the Scriptures are not just the words of Jesus. They include Paul's writings as well. So, if you are going to speak of the scriptural witness on homosexual sex, you have to deal with Paul and with the Old Testament was well. So, since we are both well aware of the specific scriptural referneces to homosexual sex in the negative sense and with those that could logically include a ban on homosexual sex, can you point me to the scriptural passages that can be interpreted as changing the status of homosexual sex? I think I missed them. YBIC, |
84. Vintner wrote:
So now Paul is Jesus? My question was not what do the Scriptures say in various places. I asked what Jesus, not Paul, specifically said.

85. Vintner wrote:
Phil, I'll answer you directly. Yes, I am aware of the passages pertaining to homosexuality. I am also aware of Spong's various books on which I have written seminary papers arguing against. So yes, I am aware of both sides of the argument. I am aware of the various arguments about how Scripture is referring to the use of power and coerciveness in these relationships vs the true love shared in same sex fidelity relationships. I am aware of all that. I also disagree with all of that. I believe that those parts of Scripture that do speak about homosexuality do not speak favorably about it and am not about to pretend that they do or twist them to mean something that they don't mean. Spong is no scholar. At the same time, I take them in the context in which they were written which is not the same context that we are in now. And that, I believe, is where our roads will part. Just as I don't believe in stoning people guilty of adultery, just as I don't believe that divorce should never be an option, just as I don't believe that snakes talk, just as I don't believe in the death penalty, I don't believe that non-celibate homosexuals who are living in fidelity is the great sin you think it is. If I am wrong, God will judge my intentions, convict me, and offer me a chance for grace when I am before his throne. And fortunate thing for you, he offers the same to your side.

Smuggs, I don't think homosexual sex is a "great sin." I just think it is a "minor sin" but it is still "sin." It misses the mark that God designed for us, and because it is sin, we lack the authority to bless it. That is the issue. Not "is it a terrible sin" or should we kick the homosexuals out of the church. The answer is no. But we should be clear about what the goal is - what righteousness looks like what a right sexual relationship looks like. Who determines that? Well, God does, of course. You and I may both be wrong on this. The question then comes down to how do we know what God's desires for us are? We know because of God's revelation in Holy Scripture as interpreted by the Church through tradition and reason. Where scritpure is clear, scripture stands. Ultimately, the issue is one of authority. Who has the authority to change what the Church teaches? I submit that the General Convention of TECUSA lacks the authority to change the teaching of the Anglican Communion, let alone the Church. I don't know that GC has the authority to change the teaching of TECUSA, but let's assume it does. When TECUSA ceases to conform to the teaching of the Anglican Communion, isn't it just that it leave the Anglican Communion? YBIC, |

#89: Dave B, what on earth are you talking about? Sure, some Christians worked to end slavery while others, such as Washington and Jefferson, had them. What in the world is your point? My argument was that Scripture and tradition were both used in those times to uphold slavery and that it was reason that helped to end it. Calm down, go back, and reread. #90: Phil, yes, I agree with your last statement. I don't believe that the primates have the authority to define for the AC what it believes and am all for an Anglican Covenant of sorts although I have doubts that such a thing will ever pass. I highly fault TEC for doing what it did w/o consents from the wider AC, like unto women's ordination. But if this is what we have reached and it's time to go, schism will happen. It won't, however, be between us and the entire rest of the AC though. In fact, it may well turn out that, in the end, I'll still be in the AC and you and the Global South will be in an another named group altogether, i.e., Orthodox Anglicans or Southern Anglicans or whatever.

Slavery is a fact of life. Anyone who speaks of slavery in the past tense is deluded. Scripture and Tradition were used to uphold Arianism. Doesn't make it good, right, or a valid part of Catholic Christianity. Prove that Holy Writ or Holy Tradition looks on slavery as a good thing, not simply part of a fallen world. Until then, such arguments do not meet quod unbique, quod sempre quod ad omnibus creditum est. Thus, they are nothing more than red herrings. Jesus never specifically mentioned incest. Apparently, it's good to have intercourse with your siblings. Jesus never mentioned pollution. Hence, it must be okay to litter. Jesus never mentioned genocide. Genocide must be okay. The whole argument is a non sequitor. Reason does not bolster such an argument. Our desire to rebel against God is what upholds such an argument. Jesus had one over-reaching message about sex; "Dad had it right form the beginning - one man, one woman, life union, His purposes, not ours. Everything else is out of His plan and hence not going in His direction." I have been reading the arguments of the reappraisers for 4 years. When I find one that contradicts what Jesus had to say about how we're to use our bodies according to His Father's plans, I'll be impressed. August 29, 10:59 pm | [comment link] |

My point was that there is a tradition with in christianity against slavery and Todd Granger wrote a very nice compilation of this tradition in the thread "Planned Parenthood asks judge to block new Missouri abortion regulations" it is comment # 40. Slavery was also argued against from a scriptural point of view so your premise that slavery was condoned by the church is wrong, it may have been wrongly tolarated. It was christians that worked to end it in England and the US. Washington and Jefferson were very troubled by the ownership of slaves. That begs the point that it was accepted by Christianity.

But I also believe that those passages are irrelevant, NOT because Jesus was silent, but because of the time and context in which they were written. As Jesus said nothing about the issue, neither those for or those against should try and use Jesus' words to bolster their argument. #97: Where do you find my saying that Jesus was silent about slavery…?

Smuggs, Jesus' silence is a necessary, although insufficient condition for your dismissal of the biblical passages.

Which is pretty much what I said in #98. Since I can steer you to a (hastily withdrawn) German Federal Health Education Center pamphlet advising that parents need to stimulate their children's naughty bits more, I simply do not take the mental health profession as a meaningful body of moralists. They are far too likely to confuse self-contentment with health, and to make health prior to virtue. August 31, 8:47 am | [comment link] |

Lesson: | Lesson 2: Writing A Collection Policy | |
Topic: | Element Three |
Element 3: This description should include the subjects, people, timeframes, and geographic regions your program focuses on. You should also describe the types of materials your organization collects, such as records, manuscripts, photographs, and maps. Some collection policies include this information in the statement of purpose section. Others include more specific collecting information as a separate section of the policy. Whichever method you choose, be sure that your description is specific enough to guide selection decisions. Most often, a program focuses on one or more subjects or themes--people, events, geographic areas, and so forth. The area of collecting focus for your program should relate to your audience. What subjects are they interested in? What types of collections are they interested in? You should also consider what nearby or related programs collect. Try to avoid overlapping or duplicating collections. This will avoid competition for materials and will ensure that a broader historical record is maintained in an organized and complementary way.

James Calvin Tillman, Unjustly Imprisoned for 18 Years, To Speak Oct. 9
James Calvin Tillman, who served more than 18 years in prison for a crime he did not commit, will take part in a panel discussion about his case Tuesday, Oct. 9, at Yale Law School. The panel, "18 ½ Years to Exoneration," is open to the public. It will be held in Room 120 from 4:10 to 5:30 p.m.
Also joining in the discussion will be Karen Goodrow, director of the Connecticut Innocence Project, which investigated Tillman's case and helped prove his innocence. Yale Law School Professor Steven Duke '61 will moderate.
Tillman was convicted of kidnapping and raping a woman in Hartford in 1988 based largely on the testimony of the victim, who had picked out his photo and then identified him in court as the rapist. He was sentenced to 45 years in prison. Tillman rejected a plea bargain, insisting he was innocent. In 2006, he was set free when new forensic tests showed evidence from the victim's clothing did not match his DNA.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa on Monday said the Centre was yet to respond to her request for deployment of CISF personnel at the Mullaperiyar dam site in Kerala to avert any "man-made catastrophic consequences" in view of protests.
"I have written to the Prime Minister to provide CISF protection, but not received any response (so far)," she told reporters here.
The AIADMK general secretary on Sunday in her third letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on the issue in less than a fortnight sought immediate security cover by Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) citing reports of mob vandalism organised by certain political parties at the dam area in Idukki district.
In her earlier letters, Ms. Jayalalithaa had asked Dr. Singh to intervene and advise Kerala to desist from creating fear psychosis on the dam issue.
Kerala has mounted pressure for building a new dam in place of the 116-year old Mullaperiyar reservoir in the wake of increase in water level and some recent tremors in the region, but Tamil Nadu has stoutly opposed any such move saying the structure was safe.
Ms. Jayalalithaa said she had nothing more to add on the issue. "My stand has been explained in detail in the letter I have written to the Prime Minister." When asked whether a special assembly session would be convened in Tamil Nadu also as was being done in Kerala, she replied in the negative." At the moment I don't think it is necessary because we are all united in our stand." DMK chief M Karunanidhi in a rare show of solidarity with arch-rival AIADMK had on Sunday pressed for deployment of CISF forces to replace Kerala state police personnel.
The DMK patriarch also accused Kerala of attempting to distract the issue by 'creating fear and panic' in the minds of people which he said should be stopped immediately.
On beefing up of security in the border area, Ms. Jayalalithaa said forces had been deployed from both the states at the border.
To a question about reports that the long-pending issue was being raked up because of an assembly by-election in Kerala, the Chief Minister said she was not aware of any such thing.

Most State Dept. offices reopen as fire cleanup continues
Thursday - 3/22/2012, 9:52am EDT
Work crews are still on site assessing the damage at a State Department complex in D.C. after a fire Tuesday morning. A number of offices in the SA-1 Low-Rise complex in Columbia Plaza on George Washington University's campus have been temporarily displaced, but most employees will be able to return to work this morning.
The fire broke out on the fifth floor of the Low-Rise complex on Tuesday, around 5:30 a.m., setting off the sprinkler system and causing significant water damage.
A State Department release reported that remediation work continues in all effected spaces, with fans and industrial water extraction trailers assisting in the cleanup. Lingering smoke odors are expected to dissipate over the next few days and are considered harmless to employees.
Renee C. Bemish, a special assistant at State, wrote in an email that the cause of the fire is still under investigation and the damage costs have not been determined.
Clean-up at the Diplotots child care center is completed. The center reopened this morning, but the regular drop off location is not accessible. An alternate drop off location has been set up near the loading dock and is designated with traffic cones.
The State Department is encouraging all employees to pick up their personal belongings as soon as possible and bins are being provided so that employees can dispose of damaged materials.
Many of the areas in the Low-Rise complex that were previously closed are now open and accessible via all four elevators. Employees can contact the Executive Offices for updates on the conditions of specific areas.
Employees affected by the fire can attend a 10 a.m. informational town hall meeting in the Dean Acheson Auditorium.
The underground parking area and SA-1 High Rise are also open.

Ntoumanis, Nikos and Barkoukis, Vassilis and Thøgersen-Ntoumani, Cecilie (2009) Developmental Trajectories of Motivation in Physical Education: Course, Demographic Differences and Antecedents. Journal of Educational Psychology, 101 (3). pp. 717-728. ISSN 0022-0663
URL of Published Version: http://psycnet.apa.org/journals/edu/101/3/671/ Identification Number/DOI: 10.1037/a0014696 This study investigated changes in student motivation to participate in physical education and some determinants of these changes over a period of three years. Measures were taken twice a year, from the age of 13 until the age of 15 years, from a sample of Greek junior high school students. Multilevel modeling analyses showed significant decreases in task-involving teacher climate, relatedness, identified regulation, and intrinsic motivation. In contrast, there were significant increases in ego-involving climate and amotivation. For some of these variables the observed linear decreases or increases were somewhat reversed by the beginning of the last year of the junior high school. No significant changes were observed in competence need satisfaction and in extrinsic and introjected regulations. We found substantial between-student variability in the intercepts and growth trajectories of most variables and, therefore, we tested a number of theoretical and demographic predictors to partly account for such variations. The results indicated that increases in maladaptive motivation in physical education over time are not uniform across all students and may be partly tackled by facilitating competence need satisfaction. |

A recent report by Jack VanDerhei of the Employee Benefits Research Institute should worry you.
This detailed analysis of who is likely to run out of money and when finds that a number of people in every income category could be facing shortfalls in the future.
Assuming you're retired for 35 years (generous, but not totally unrealistic), and factoring in nursing home and home health care costs:
- 83% of those in the lowest income quartile will run out of money,
- 47% of those in the second-lowest quartile will run out,
- 28% of those in the second-highest quartile will run out, and
- 13% of those in the highest income quartile will run out.
The statistics for living 20 years are better, but hardly comforting (even there, 8% of the highest earners will run out of money). If you also take out nursing care expenses, the percentages go down again -- but, much as I like to believe that I'm going to be doing handstands as an 85-year old, I can't say that I would be comfortable counting on it.
What can we learn? Even if you're pretty well off, there's still a chance that you won't have enough money to get through your retirement.
Why should I believe you?
This study is unique in that it focused not just on predicted income patterns but on expenditures. The arguably complex model thus looks at risks ranging from longevity, investment performance, and the possibility of costly health care requirements.
It's also more poignant when taken next to the Social Security Administration's large survey of retirement expenditures, released in 2013. On average, fully 75% of retiree's expenses went to the basics: Housing, food, health care, and transportation. In other words, it doesn't appear that most people are going crazy buying pink Cadillacs and single malt.
While your specific needs in retirement might differ, looking at these kinds of averages is rather instructive. And in this case, somewhat scary.
So what do we do?
Ah the eternal question. While there are never any guarantees in life, there are a few things you can do to reduce the probability of major retirement shortfalls.
First, think about your future housing situation. According to the Social Security Administration, the majority of retirees' expenditures went to housing, for an average of about 35%. Is there any way to reduce that cost?
Secondly, for the love of all that is good and merciful, stay healthy. Healthcare expenses are potentially crippling, so do what you can to avoid the most obvious sources of physical decline. Exercise, eat right -- you know what has to be done.
Consider buying long-term care insurance. These policies can cover extended nursing home stays or in-home care should something go wrong. According to the AARP, they tend to be cheaper the earlier you buy them, so think about getting one while you're younger.
Save more. Perhaps the image of the penny-pinching millionaire isn't so bad -- after all, the more you set aside and the less you spend, the more of a cushion you'll have later on. See where you can contribute more to savings, or earn more income to devote to them, and try to maximize your retirement contributions to the extent possible.
Finally, consider working in retirement. Maybe you have some expertise you can share as a teacher or lecturer, or perhaps you'd enjoy consulting. By the SSA's calculations, those who were able to spend the most in retirement tended to do so with earned income. Think of it as a way of keeping up your appreciation for that golf club membership, or funding -- guilt-free -- that long summer painting watercolors in Florence.

San Antonio enjoys a diverse industry portfolio that continues to strengthen and build upon the city's historic economic base. Diverse industry strengths have emerged in recent years, making San Antonio one of the most recession resistant economies in the country. Combining the global connections with a focus on jobs and investments the City seeks to create a globally competitive and internationally connected economic development environment that supports entrepreneurs and businesses of all sizes toward investment and job creation.
The Mayor and City Council are the community's key decision makers. They focus on: the provision and efficiency of basic services; their district's growth; capital improvement projects; land use and development; the city's financial growth and economic development; and other important issues. Council members focus on how City policies not only meet the needs of their constituents, but also how they meet the goals of the entire community.
The 2014 City of San Antonio Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemoration marks the 27th anniversary of the City's celebration of the life and legacy of Dr. King. Join one of the largest marches and commemorations in the U.S. aimed at honoring and continuing Dr. King's legacy.
San Antonio is an amazing place. Throughout the SA 2020 process, you proved it by showing up in droves on weeknights and Saturdays to dream about our city`s future. At a time when other big American cities reflect the skeptical chords of our national discourse, we had local CEOs sitting side-by-side with grassroots activists in a dialogue that looked like folks chatting over the backyard fence.
Located just below the headwaters of the San Antonio River, Brackenridge Park and the surrounding area has been a gathering place since prehistoric times. There is evidence of human visitation and occupation extending back at least 11,000 years. Native American artifacts dating as early as 9200 B.C. have been found in the Olmos Basin and near Hildebrand Avenue. The Japanese Tea Garden, San Antonio Zoo and Sunken Garden Theatre are located at Brackenridge Park.
Luminaria is San Antonio's annual celebration of art and artists. Held in March and overseen by San Antonio's creative leaders, it is free of charge and showcases all art forms in an outdoor setting and inside various venues downtown. Luminaria spotlights San Antonio's cultural assets for local citizens and visitors alike.

Adams, Charles and Coe, David T. (1989): A Systems Approach to Estimating the Natural Rate of Unemployment and Potential Output for the United States.
There is a more recent version of this item available. |
MPRA_paper_8622.pdf Download (11MB) | Preview |
The methodology used in this paper has three distinguishing features: the natural rate of unemployment and potential output are jointly estimated; estimation integrates wage and price data with "real" and structural data; and third, the methodology encompasses many of the methods found in the literature. The results indicate that potential output growth has recovered somewhat during the early 1990s, but remains below the rapid rates of increase in the late 1960s. The natural rate, after rising during the late 1960s and the 1970s, is found to have declined in the 1980s. The paper concludes with an assessment of medium-term prospects for potential output and the natural rate.
